Saikia, Rakhee published the artcileRevisiting the synthesis of aryl nitriles: a pivotal role of CAN, Formula: C7H6N2, the main research area is nitrile aryl preparation; aryl iodide or bromide CAN cyanation catalyst copper trifluoromethanesulfonate.
Facilitated by the dual role of ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN), herein a cost-effective approach for the cyanation of aryl iodides/bromides with CAN-DMF as an addition to the existing pool of combined cyanation sources was reported. In addition to being an oxidant, CAN acted as a source of nitrogen in our protocol. The reaction was catalyzed by a readily available Cu(II) salt and the ability of CAN to generate ammonia in the reaction medium was utilized to eliminate the addnl. requirement of a nitrogen source, ligand, additive or toxic reagents. The mechanistic study suggested an evolution of CN- leading to the synthesis of a variety of aryl nitriles ArCN [Ar = Ph, 4-OHC6H4, 4-H2NC6H4, etc.] in moderate to good yields. The proposed mechanism was supported by a series of control reactions and labeling experiments
